Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting cable sections, with module grippers which are assigned to processing stations attached to a machine frame and which hold a cable section during processing, and with transfer grippers which are arranged displaceably on the machine frame and which transfer the cable sections from one processing station to another transport, the transfer grippers each taking over the cable sections from the module gripper of one processing station and transferring them to the module gripper of the other processing station.
  • Such devices serve to cyclically transport sections of electrical cables along a cable processing line from one processing station to the next. At the processing station, the ends of the cable section are stripped, for example, and provided with pluggable electrical contact parts.
  • EP-A 0 483 462 discloses a device in which cable sections are cyclically transported along a cable processing line by means of double grippers which hold both ends of a cable section.
  • the double grippers are arranged on the outer circumference of an endless, deflectable transport member at regular intervals and rotatably mounted perpendicular to the direction of movement of the transport member and to the axis of the held ends of the respective cable section.
  • At least two points on the cable processing line are gripper activators arranged in a stationary manner, by means of which the double grippers, which are closed by the force of a spring, can be opened for the reception or delivery of a cable section.
  • the ends of the held cable sections are led past processing stations, where they follow during a work cycle previous centering of the double gripper in question.
  • the double grippers can be rotated together with the fixed cable section by a certain angle.
  • the module grippers are assigned to processing stations that are arranged along a cable processing line.
  • the transfer grippers are slidably mounted on the machine frame of the cable processing machine and ensure that the cables are transported from one processing station to another.
  • One end of a cable section is held by the transfer gripper and transported perpendicular to its direction of movement (x-direction) to the next processing station.
  • the assigned module gripper is ready on this to take over the cable section from the transfer gripper.
  • the module gripper transports the cable section to the processing station in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the transfer gripper (y direction).
  • the transfer gripper runs back to the previous processing station in order to take over the next, correspondingly processed cable section from the module gripper there and in turn feed it to the other processing station.
  • the module gripper assigned to this station has meanwhile returned to its starting position with the correspondingly processed cable section and transfers this to a further transfer gripper which follows in the direction of the processing sequence.
  • the cycle time is relatively long because the movements of the grippers take place sequentially.
  • the cables When the cables are moved in the y direction, they can also move in the x direction at the same time, which is disadvantageous for the return and subsequent transfer to the transfer gripper, since this must have a large catch area.
  • due to the displacement and Drive devices additionally taxed the costs of the processing stations.
  • the invention is based on the object, based on the last-mentioned prior art, of proposing a device of the type mentioned at the outset which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above and in which the cycle time in particular is shorter.
  • the module grippers assigned to the processing stations are fixed immovably on the machine frame in the direction of the processing stations, while the transfer grippers are arranged on the machine frame so as to be displaceable both in a first direction of cable transport between the processing stations and in a second direction different from the first direction.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention can be seen in the fact that the cable transport is only carried out by the transfer gripper, which immediately after the takeover of the cable from the module gripper move back in a direction resulting from the two directions from a processing station or during the cable transfer to the others can drive, so that the time of a work cycle is shorter. Since the cable is only transported by the transfer gripper, the cable cannot move in the x direction. The costs of the processing stations can be reduced due to the module grippers being immovably fastened in the direction of the processing stations.
  • 10 denotes a machine frame of a cable processing machine, to which processing stations 11 are attached.
  • the processing stations 11 are assigned module grippers 12, by means of which cable sections 13 are held and can be fed to the processing stations 11.
  • the module grippers 12 are arranged in a direction y on the machine frame 10.
  • Transfer grippers 15 are arranged displaceably in a direction x running perpendicular to the direction y on a guide 14 connected to the machine frame 10. By means of the transfer grippers 15, the cable sections 13 are transported from a processing station 11 in the direction of the processing sequence to the next processing station 11.
  • the cable section 13 is transported from the module gripper 12 in the direction y from the position 1 to the position 2 and transferred to the transfer gripper 15.
  • the transfer gripper 15 brings the cable section 13 in the x direction to the position 3, where it is taken over by the module gripper 12 there and brought in the y direction to the 4 position, while the transfer gripper 15 runs back from the 3 position to take over a further cable section 13 in the 2 position.
  • 20 is a machine frame Cable processing machine refers to which processing stations 21 are attached.
  • the processing stations 21 are assigned module grippers 22 which are fixed immovably on the machine frame 20 in the direction of the processing stations and by means of which cable sections 23 are held in place during processing.
  • Transfer units 25, which are described in greater detail below with reference to FIG. 5, are arranged on a guide 24 connected to the machine frame 20 so that they can be displaced in a straight line in a first direction x '.
  • transfer grippers are designated, which are arranged in a second direction y 'perpendicular to the first direction x' displaceable in a straight line on the transfer units 25.
  • the cable sections 23 are transported from a processing station 21 in the direction of the processing sequence to the next processing station 21, one end of the cable section 23 being held by the transfer gripper 26 and the other end being guided in a cable trough (not shown).
  • the cable section 23 transferred in position 1 from the module gripper 22 to the transfer gripper 26 is moved in the direction y ', the transfer unit 25 simultaneously moving in the direction x'.
  • the transfer gripper 26 and with it the cable section 23 are guided in a direction resulting from the first and second directions x ', y' until position 2 is reached, in which the movement of the transfer gripper 26 in the direction y 'is ended.
  • the transfer gripper 26 begins to run again in the direction y 'with the transfer unit 25 continuing, so that the cable section 23 is guided in a direction resulting from the first and second directions x', y 'until position 4 is reached.
  • the transfer gripper 26 transfers the cable section 23 to the module gripper 22 there and, together with the transfer unit 25, is returned to position 1 for the purpose of taking over a further cable section 23.
  • the transfer gripper 26 can be moved according to a movement sequence similar to FIG. 2 move the stationary transfer unit 25 from position 1 in the direction y 'to position 2, after which the transfer unit 25 transports the cable section 23 in the direction x' to position 3 and then the transfer gripper 26 with the transfer unit 25 stationary in the direction y 'to position 4.
  • the transfer unit 25 has a carriage 27 on which a slide 28 is arranged.
  • the slider 28 carries the transfer gripper 26 and is displaceably guided on guide rods 29 provided on the slide 27.
  • a piston attached to the slide 27 is designated, which is guided in a bore 31 located in the slide 28.
  • a pressure medium, such as compressed air, can be supplied via openings 32, 33 connected to the bore 31 for the purpose of displacing the slide 28.
  • a bearing part 34 is fastened, on which rollers 35 are mounted.
  • the rollers 35 run on columns 36 fastened to the machine frame 20, the rollers 35 and the columns 36 forming the guide 24 (FIG. 3).
  • the transfer gripper 26 can also be attached to a lever which is rotatably arranged on the transfer unit 25 and, for the purpose of rotation, is connected in an articulated manner to the piston of a piston-cylinder attribute pivotally mounted on the transfer unit 25. In this case, the transfer gripper 26 is shifted in a curve when the lever is rotated in the direction y '.
